highflyerjak   10 #13 Posted January 3, 2012 The bin outside Primark in town was on fire the other week, full of paper Primark bags, and people's cigarette ends, which is not a good mix. People were just walking by and seemed to be taking absolutely no notice. I asked the security guard if he was aware that the bin was on fire, and he replied "Yeah, it always is", shrugged, and walked away. Fantastic!  There's usually at least one on Fargate as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
